I can tell you that
immediately upon finding out that our folks were in danger, that my orders to
my National Security team were do whatever we need to do to make sure they’re
safe. And that’s the same order that I would give anytime that I see Americans
are in danger, whether they’re civilian or military, because that’s our number
one priority.

One knows this to be a lie for several reasons.

Testimony given to a congressional committee investigating
the Benghazi attack revealed that requests
for helpwere
routinely ignored, even after smaller attacks in Tripoli and Benghazi.
Eventually, the State Department told those in Libya:

On the heels of David Petraeus agreeing to testify on the Libya
terror attack, Republican senators on Wednesday stepped up their call to
empanel a "select committee" to investigate the tragedy -- as they
raised concern that the administration's internal review would fall
short.

"Let me be clear: there is no credibility among most of us concerning
the administration and the numerous controversies and
contradictions that have been involved in their handling of this issue,"
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said, at a lengthy news conference on
Capitol Hill.

McCain was joined by Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Kelly Ayotte,
R-N.H., in calling for a temporary Senate committee established
specifically to investigate Libya. Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid
later said he would not support their proposal.

The call for what would effectively be a new investigation comes as
lawmakers continue to pry into the administration's narrative on what
happened before, during and after the attack that killed four Americans.
In a victory for lawmakers -- at least those who will hear from him --
Petraeus volunteered to speak to the House and Senate intelligence
committees perhaps as early as this week on Libya.

Palestinian terrorists barraged Israel with more than 200 rockets on
Thursday, killing three people as Israel pressed a punishing campaign of
airstrikes on militant targets across the Gaza Strip. Three rockets
targeted the densely populated Tel Aviv area, setting off air-raid
sirens in brazen attacks that threatened to trigger an Israeli ground
invasion of Gaza.

There is no peaceful resolution that the Gazans would be happy with. This is history repeating itself.

Alexandra Gunn was questioning whether Trudeau would ask Liberal
candidate for Durham Grant Humes to remove controversial links from his
campaign webpage, when he snapped at her.

Humes has recently come
under fire by local vets for using Liberal campaign signs supporting
veterans to link to a party donation site (www.durham4vets.org).

The
attack on Gunn occurred while Trudeau was campaigning at the University
of Ontario Institute of Technology and Durham College in Oshawa,
Ontario.

When asked if there would be an apology for the posting,
Trudeau responded, "If there was a problem with the website link then I
know that it was done in good faith."

When Gunn then asked Mr. Trudeau if he would ask Mr. Humes to remove the controversial links, Trudeau responded in anger.

"I'm
asking Mr. Harper to take care of our veterans. How's that? I'm asking
Mr. Harper to respect the veterans that he hides behind every single
step of the day. And the fact that you're not asking about that is
frankly disingenuous, but I expect no better from Sun News."

65% of the 392 top
colleges surveyed maintain speech codes and other restrictions on expression
that violate First Amendment principles… No wonder a study of 24,000 students
conducted by the Association of American Colleges and Universities in 2010
revealed that only 30.3% of college seniors strongly agreed with the statement
that, “It is safe to hold unpopular opinions on campus”… The students were
downright optimistic compared to the 9,000 campus professionals surveyed. Only
18.8% strongly agreed that it was safe to hold unpopular opinions on campus...
As the sociologist Diana C. Mutz discovered in her 2006 book Hearing the Other Side, those with the highest levels of education
had the lowest exposure to
people with conflicting points of view, while those who have not graduated from
high school can claim the most diverse discussion mates. In other words, the
most educated among us are also the most likely to live in the tightest echo
chambers.

This is the left and that was their illusory hold on
tolerance, the broad ends of the political spectrum and intelligence.
